God is so 'other' that we cannot understand all about Him. In His patience He 'waits' century by century as stalactites form. In His delight in creation He makes little creatures like a caterpillar.
The Lord lifts some people 'high' in prayer, to see the glory of Heaven. By His Will, He causes them to reflect some of the glory back to others on earth, through their witness, as if they are a mirror.
Christ gazed upon me with immense love and tenderness, as I expressed my contrition and love.
God's love 'falls' upon us unceasingly, as if from a waterfall. How surprised we would be if something interrupted the flow. We must beware of stopping the 'flow' of generosity in our own lives towards others.
It is a long way we must 'travel', if we are to persevere on our journey from sinful earthly life to the holiness and beauty of Heaven. Only by God's power, poured out in the sacraments, can we 'ascend' on high.
The Sacraments of the Church are like an open doorway, through which pour out all the graces of God that we need for holiness and salvation, and through which we meet Christ.

As if from the 'door' of Heaven, God's graces pour outwards, down the stairway, upon us needy persons below. He graces are like torrents of living flame; it is into the 'Fire' of His love that each of us must step, when we die. The sinless feel no pain, only joy.
God sees every good effort of human beings to serve Him. Sincere people in many religions reach out towards Heaven, to praise their Creator, however they picture Him, and in the hope of contact with Him. Yet the Catholic Faith is different from other religions in that, at every Mass, Heaven is laid open above us. Christ's power and Christ's intercession allow us to reach the Father, in the Spirit, through baptism and faith and the Sacrifice of the Mass.
God our loving creator allows human beings to 'create' new life with Him. Yet millions of these huamn lives, precious gifts from Heaven, are swept away before birth by the monstrous tsunami of abortion.

The Lord showed me the far horizons, and many of the other roads which people travel in efforts to reach God and Heaven. The one Way to Heaven is the Way made by Christ and shown out by His Church.
Because Jesus Christ is God as well as man, and Present amongst us at Mass, He is powerful enough to push aside the 'cloud' that separates earth and Heaven, and His perfect praise - joined with our praises - is offered to and accepted by God our Father.

Christ asks His friends to entrust themselves to His care and to His plans - just as if each of us were to step into a car, at Christ's invitation, to let Him drive us wherever He pleases. Christ asks us to accept His Will for us, whatever it may bring.
When someone is suddenly enlightened by God, it is as if an undersea earthquake takes place. The 'shock' of a new illumination in someone's soul brings great changes in the 'landscape' of his life.
In God's sight, our land is often like a desolate landscape with only few places where children are truly treasured.
The Church is like a bright home, full of life, in an almost deserted, snowy landscape. Where people really love life, and love and welcome children, they also care for the old and the sick - unlike many around them who work to extinguish life.
Where people listen to the Church, and thank God for their children, and put the needs of family before their own ambitions, a home is like an oasis of light; old people and the sick are valued and cared for, as if in an oasis of light amidst the gloom of an uncaring society.
